Giving up.....
I could give up this bible study because I am pulled in so many directions. Work, kids going back to school, wedding in the family, etc... Life is so busy. But I am sticking with it.
Someone said some nasty things about me on facebook the other day. I could have given up thinking why would God allow this person to say these things about me. Instead I turned to God and the bible and searched for answers.
I have been trying to find in my heart what volunteering activities I want to help with at church. God has been tugging at my heart to do something. After the facebook incident, I felt like I wasn't good enough to be involved in anything. But God wants me to do something, Do I teach Sunday School? Do I join the choir? Then the opportunity of being on the leadership committee for the book club called "Grace Cafe"
I was overjoyed. This is what I was waiting for....I know this will be tough. It is beyond me but I am going to Stick with it.....
You are worth it! God shines His love down on you daily. #Stickwithit. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSounds like God has a wonderful place for you to bless many. FB can be a place I catch up on what my kids and grandkids are doing but I'm findi g it can be like high school years all over. So I'm connected to those who lift me in prayer and are of encouragement to me. All the others I let go of them.
ReplyDeleteI'm in a couple of area's of ministry I thought God wanted me to co-lead in and have for several years and in one day I'm now to lead both Ministriesby myself. So I to will #Stickwithit and rely on God being my strength!
Thank you!
It sure does hurt when someone speaks unkind words in our direction. Fortunately, as a daughter of the Most High Jesus Christ, we know that it's His words and truth that tell us who we are. We sisters can band together and rise above and hard as it may be sometimes, we know forgiving and blessing our enemies will enrich our lives. Keep up the good work Melanie and thanks for saying Yes to God and for sticking with it!! Blessings to you and your family!!
